March National Call – In This Together with Marianne Krasny
March 28, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm EDT
In this Together: Connecting with Your Community to Combat the Climate Crisis with Marianne Krasny
How do I take meaningful climate action? What is my responsibility for the climate crisis? Dr. Marianne Krasny will share her journey to answer these questions as described in her latest book: In This Together: Connecting with Your Community to Combat the Climate Crisis. Drawing on exciting new social sciences research, she will describe “network climate action”, or how we can influence our close friends and family to take climate actions alongside us. In this way, and by living up to our “role-ideals,” we can scale up what we can do as individuals to have a greater impact.
